Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: For the moment, I'm satisfied with each of the CDN and US holdings in my portfolio. But I have nothing that is non-North American. So I'm planning to invest about $50,000 which would be 10% of my current portfolio. I haven't tracked international equities very much and am looking for recommendations. What do you think about purchasing individual stocks ... intending LT (5+ year) hold? Could you suggest 4 or 5 stocks I might look at? Asia? Europe? etc. Finally, if you're not keen on investing in individual stocks, can you recommend a few international ETFs for me to research? Thanks very much. (5i is an awesome resource for me).

Q: I took a flyer on roxg. Not working out too well so far. Didn’t do enough research. My big error was locatio, location, location.
Financial report released last night, looks reasonably good, but maybe not good enough to garner interest given its location. Trying to decide whether to sell into the news or hold for a while longer. I know you don’t have a chyristal ball, but would appreciate your opinion. Resubscibe ok.

Q: Can you comment on their recent quarter please. I’ve been following this stock for a very long time. Are things potentially turning here? On a likely completely unrelated note. I just saw home capital group (another darling Real-estate finance company from 5+ years ago break out). Obviously TII is a micro cap. But do your think these results are sustainable near term?

Q: I'm 21 years old and am planning on making a TFSA portfolio of Canaidan companies (Mostly Blue-chip dividend paying stocks, IE, Banks, Telcos etc....) to buy and hold forever. I'm also planning on adding SHOPIFY in my TFSA and placing BABA in my RRSP. I was thinking XAW in RRSP as well top get american/international exposure, Just wondering your thoughts on this and any advice would be great. Also do you think it's a good idea to invest now or wait for a market correction or just avergae in over time in all of these companies.

Q: I'm doing a review of my equity holdings. I note that there are 4 CDN stocks that have each made slow, but consistent gains, since purchase. Also, each pay a dividend. However, as components of my overall portfolio, they now represent less 2% (average is 1.7). (During the same period, my other equities have grown to surpass 5%). My question is whether I should increase those small weightings (all held for 5+ years with no worrisome setbacks)-- or let them go and deploy that capital to other more growth-oriented prospects. Thanks.
